Description:

In this course we will examine social movements of the post-emancipation United States from the perspective of black women activists. By looking at such movements as anti-lynching, progressive education, Back to Africa, suffrage, legal civil rights, black power, feminism, welfare rights, and GLBT liberation/queer rights, we will trace and analyze how black women's activisms are a continuous and constant force in U.S. history. Along the way, we will also contemplate and discuss how the trajectory of U.S. history changes when we look at the past from the perspective of black women. 1.00 units, Lecture
